Good news for web designers--more typography available

As reported in the L.A. Times today, several large collections of typefaces will soon be made available online, giving web designers more typography tools to work with.  Web designers have long felt restricted by the typeface choices they've had to work with.  But readers who are used to the beauty and diversity of typefaces in print have also found reading on the web to be grating and jarring. 

It seems to me, at least, that many websites and blogging platforms have placed an emphasis on ease of producing and publishing content, rather than on ease of reading and consuming content.  The two need to go hand in hand, engineers and designers need to be working together.  But people who specialize in design ecology are becoming a hot commodity, so it seems things are changing for the better as more people are giving thought to user experiences.
